General information
Within the limits of the system, emergency assist
can detect inactivity from the driver. In these in-
stances, the system will warn the driver, assume
control of the vehicle if necessary, and bring the
vehicle automatically to a stop in the lane.
Regardless of the speed, the emergency assist is
automatically available when the adaptive cruise
assist* is activated. When the adaptive cruise as-
sist* is deactivated, the system is only available
at speeds above approximately 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Emergency assist functions

can be controlled with the limits of the system.
The measures depend on the dangerous situation
and the vehicle equipment:
— Visual and audio warnings

— Lowers the volume of the Infotainment system
— Tugs on the safety belt
— Activates the brakes
— The emergency flashers are activated

) This function is not available in every market and on all ve-
hicle equipment levels.
